Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our Summer Splash Paws Online Auction fundraiser with the proceeds going to help the animals. 

AVHS will be adding additional auction items during the next two weeks so be sure to bid and come back and visit the site again. 

We are raising funds through this fundraiser to provide for medical costs for the animals. As each animal arrives, it is given a series of shots to protect them as well as prevent spread of disease. Their vaccination cost has risen, the spay or neuter surgery has risen, the veterinarian and medical staff costs are skyrocketed, and animals still need your support to grow healthy and thrive.

  • This is an online auction from Friday, August 15th, 12 noon and will end on Friday, August 29th at 5 pm. When you bid, you will be asked to provide a credit card to secure that bid as you put items into your cart. 
  • You don't need to dress up and wear a fancy outfit. Just sit in a comfortable chair and bid on items. 
  • You can make a donation by clicking on the donation button. 
  • If you are looking for a particular item, please let us know. 
  • You are able to bid on any item or purchase the buy it now price. It will be marked as sold if the buy it now purchase price is made.
  • When the online auction ends, your credit card will be processed for payment of your purchases.

How do I pick up my items?

Each bidder will be notified if they have won a item. You will be able to pick up your item on Saturday, August 30 from 9 am to 5 pm or Sunday, August 31 from 9 am to 5 pm. at the AVHS Admin office located at 20 B St NE, Auburn. Other arrangements may be made by emailing slavigne@auburnvalleyhs.org. Volunteers will also help meet some bidders with their items, depending upon availability. 

If you are unable to pickup your item during the weekend, we will make other arrangements. If items are not picked up by mid-September, the items will return to AVHS for the next fundraising opportunity.
